My cousin has a tattoo on his right arm. Im wondering what it means. I only got a glimpse at it but I think it read something like this.
He gave me a rough translation but Im still confused about what it means.
честь в войне
жертва конфликта
выживание в невзгодах
I was thinking about getting a similar tattoo, but does this make sense, or could it be written in a better way.
thanks

I advise to rethink a bit. Those are rather dubious and questionableQuote:

I strongly recommend you don't use "жертва конфликта" as a tattoo. :P It's extremely weird, especially if you are not (a victim, that is). 8)
The rest is slightly better, but... I don't know. It's too long, it looks random, it doesn't sound too clever or wise.
A single saying you like translated into Russian would be much better than this string of consciousness, imho.
I agree,
After looking through the dictionary this morning, I realized what it said and it doesnt make much sense.
I think that maybe one like
service, sacrifice, survival
would work much better
The word жертва in this particular construction means exactly that - a victim.Quote:
